Fragrant pork

Genuinely was Googling for the spelling of the word fragrant and got suggested fragrant pork, instead of my searched word fragrant port. Pork it shall be then.

So yeh, went for a almost full four days three nights stay. Decided in less than a week. Soon or a couple of days after the Financial Reporting exam; the last Friday of October. Hope pass shall I. For though this is me forth? Or fifth attempt? Oh my.

Pretty much enjoyed myself. Contacted the two humans in the city. To meet, to talk, to company and ultimately just to waste time. The mind is relaxed. Although not exactly the kind of style and types of my traveling. But still. It does. Fallen asleep hasn’t been easy as for the past few years. It was a quality sleep. Even that was a three level bunked bed. Yes, kid you not. I survived. It was not really as bad after all. It was clean, brand new. With no window of course. Which it all comes at a super affordable price. Costing about a hundred of my home currency, per night of stay. With such a very convenient location. Felt save. Other than compromised privacy, limited space even on daily private wash routine. That’s what I get for what I paid. Worth the value for my kind of liking. Not that I have been traveling for very often, can’t even to make any much other comparison; shall I include this as one of my possible budget foreign land travel choice. Shall definitely I to revisit in the future. A huge city with so much more to discover. An escape out of the city is a breeze. Hiked over the MacLehose trail with the two of them. Overlooking dam or reservoir; High Island reservoir it is. Trail is entirely on proper vehicle/hiker pavement. Would definitely go for a real soil terrain on my next visit ha! Scenic view, surprisingly (or shall I not surprised) crystal clear water. Literally crystal clear as the bottom of the banks can clearly be seen from where we stand. And mind you. We are never any where near the water. The colour of the water is exactly as turquoise as you could Google image for the turquoise colour. No joke. Ha! Ok what is else. This is not a structured essay. I shall type whichever, whatever that comes into my mind at this very moment. Oh it seems I jumped straight to second day, skipping my first day of arrival. Arrival was a little tiring. Flight departure at six forty in the morning. Imagine the prior hours and traveling to air port time required. And most importantly the waking up time. And not to forget the late night sleep few hours before. Flight took less than three hours I suppose. Landed slightly before nine thirty. Somehow I manage to walk out of the air port for bus only around ten thirty. Investigated the night before. Planned to take the longer journey bus with one change. Obviously. To save money. Ha! Which I did; pretty much almost perfectly. That being said. Over shoot one bus station. Need to walk back to the station a little bit. Thankfully that isn’t far at all. Very walkable distance. Waiting time for the second bus took around ten minutes or less. No biggie at all. Entire journey, including the walk-backwards took me around one and a half hours. Which serves my purpose of wasting time and saving money. Day feeling great with the very first mission of the trip accomplished. Hoho Hostel as it is named. Even took the remaining time (since check-in is only at two afternoon) to scout for an alternative hostel. Worrying that the three stories bunk bed could be a disaster. While scouting, decided to have a wan tan mee nearby. Scouted, questioned. Felt slight regretted. Feeling this could have been better. Receptionist seems legit and easy going. Nevertheless, gotta proceed with the initial plan. Since it’s booked and credit card details locked in. Anyhow, it turned out to be perfectly fine though. My next trip shall visit that scouted one. Feeling slightly bad for not paying for that. Somehow. Oh did I mentioned the small commotion at the wan tan noodle shop. Ha-ha. Heard her saying the word pok kai to a group of Filipino tourist I suppose. From then on; the people part isn’t that appealing. The very afraid of approaching them is real. About near two, checked in. Ate my leftover burger packed all the way back from homeland. Slept for a couple of loss sleep from the previous night. And off I walked all the way to the port/tsim sha tshui area.

A very summary
